Trump Lawyer Stunningly Claims ‘Guilty of Insurrection or Not’ Trump Should Be Allowed On Ballot

Trump attorney Christina Bobb stunningly argued that former presidents like Donald Trump should be allowed on presidential ballots “whether they’re guilty of insurrection or not.”

Trump has now been banned from Republican presidential primary ballots in two states — Colorado and Maine — on the grounds that he violated the 14th Amendment by engaging in insurrection on January 6.

Bobb was a guest on Tuesday’s edition of Real America’s Voice’s America’s Voice Live with Steve Gruber, during which she threw a kitchen sink’s worth of claims against the wall.

At one point, Bobb made the stunning remark — in a moment flagged by Ron Filipkowski — that even a former president who was guilty of insurrection should be allowed on the ballot:

STEVE GRUBER: Look, here’s the thing. I would not be surprised if Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Ketanji Jackson Brown, whichever. If she was 8 to 1. I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised by that because of the radical nature of her position on the court and some other decisions that she’s talking about.

But I agree with you, it should be nine to nothing. Look, this is a political question. America has always deferred about. The court should say it’s not a question for the court, it’s a question for the voters. That is the tradition of this country, isn’t it?

CHRISTINA BOBB: Yeah, it is. And as you mentioned in your monologue, the Colorado Republican Party has already filed their brief with the Supreme Court. And they say just that. It’s actually a very solid brief.

They raise a handful of arguments as to why this, this Section Three of the 14th Amendment doesn’t even apply to the president. It’s not self-executing. Donald Trump hasn’t been charged with insurrection. And this is a question for the voters.

The reason why it doesn’t apply to the president was because the drafters of the 14th Amendment realized that the president is elected by the entire nation and it should be the entire nation who determines who they want for president, whether they’re guilty of insurrection or not. It’s up to the people.
